Only a few people have managed to rise from the dead. If I don’t count stories about gods, such as the Egyptian god Osiris and the Sumerian goddess Ishtar (Innana), the only stories I know about people coming back to life are the stories about Jesus and the Italian futurist artist Giacomo Balla, who also managed to rise from the dead. And on January 1, Stepan Bandera’s birthday, Denis Nikitin joined these two. How did this happen? The Ukrainian secret service launched an operation in the style of Otto Skorzeny and managed to troll mainly the Russian secret services, the Russian Federation, all mainstream media, and, last but not least, White Nationalists who value the life’s work and legacy of Denis Nikitin. With this act, Denis made his mark on the history of modern warfare—how to conduct special operations, how to damage the enemy with minimal resources, and how to generate a lot of media hype about it.
How did it all happen?
Ukrainians from the GUR filmed a video of a flying drone crashing into a white van with Denis Nikitin in it. The video also showed the van exploding in the distance, after which the RDK posted a statement on Telegram that their commander had died.
Tonight, our commander Denis “WhiteRex” Kapustin died heroically while performing a combat mission on the front line near Zaporizhzhia. According to preliminary data, he was struck by an FPV drone. All details will be announced later—the details of the incident are currently being investigated. We will definitely avenge you, Denis. Your work lives on.
After that, all the commemorative events for Denis and his work took place.
For example, a commemorative event in Cava de’ Tirreni by CasaPound Italia (CPI).
Banners from the official Telegram page of CasaPound Italia – I have noticed a large number of different commemorative events and activities in Italy. Denis’s legacy is particularly strong there. thanks to combat tournaments and the CPI.
A few independent artists also got involved.
A memorial event in Sofia, Bulgaria, for Denis Nikitin and Svetoslav Slavkov, who fell on the front lines.
I myself was involved in organizing a commemoration in Brno, Czech Republic, which was attended by about 50 people. The commemoration took place in front of the former Russian embassy building.
A modest memorial to Denis in front of the recently closed Russian Federation consulate in Gdańsk. It was organized by nationalists from White Boys Gdańsk.
The Russian special services who ordered the killing believed the video and statement provided, and paid the Ukrainian side half a million dollars for the “job,” which will now significantly strengthen the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian army. It was a complex, multi-stage special operation during which the death of Denis, whom Russian leader Vladimir Putin considers his personal enemy, was simulated. At the same time, a circle of individuals was exposed—those who ordered the operation from among the Russian secret services and also everyone on the Russian side who is involved in this case.
And once all the media hype and commemorative events had died down, Denis made a grand comeback. First, he replied to his detractors on social platform X, and then he simply accepted Congratulations on his rebirth.
The head of the military intelligence service Kyrylo Budanov, a living legend, Hero of Ukraine, who now leads the Office of the President, welcomed the indestructible commander:
Welcome back among the living… I am glad that the funds obtained for your elimination have helped our fight. I wish us all, and you personally, every success.
Denis himself commented extensively on the event on his Telegram:
The dust has settled, and I finally have the opportunity to tell you all that I was very pleased and at the same time saddened to read your messages addressed to me, the “deceased.” I didn’t expect so many people to consider what I do important and necessary. I never wanted to be popular and I didn’t chase fame, certainly no more than any other ambitious man on this planet.
I apologize if I ruined anyone’s New Year’s celebrations, but I want to remind you all that my workplace is called the Main Administration Office of The military intelligence service of the Ukrainian government, and now you understand that my “death” was not some silly farce, but a special deception operation that was crowned with absolute success.
You don’t have to be ashamed or feel embarrassed about your words or actions in memory, because it was all done sincerely! I saw graffiti from Germany, street actions from Italy and Bulgaria, videos and posts from friends and comrades-in-arms from the US, Australia, Sweden, the Czech Republic… I am very grateful to all of you and touched by your attitude. I am with you forever, my friends, so thank you for supporting me personally and the Russian Volunteer Corps, and let’s break 2026 together—the year is clearly going to be very interesting. Soon, you will all receive a number of belated New Year’s gifts from me personally!
Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
RDK Commander
Denis WhiteRex.
I used to think that the best trolling article on Counter-Currents was F. Roger Devlin’s “A Puzzling Situation or The Story of a Young Man.” I enjoyed this article and even told Roger Devlin in person that it had a great idea and was well written. Roger set the bar very high with this article, but I think that in this race, the article and the events surrounding Denis have become the clear winners.
One of Denis’s closest friends mentioned that even Denis’s wife didn’t know about this secret operation and thought he was dead. I suspect it will be a bit wild at the Nitikin household for a while.
Welcome back to the living, Denis. That interview I promised you in the obituary still stands!

I personally think it was wrong to annonce that Denis is alive TOO SOON. They should wait a couple of months and use disinformation about his death for operative/counter-intelligence aims. But Ukrainians, of all people, like to boast.
I don’t think you understand how battlefield morale works. Also, how do you imagine them keeping quiet for months when Denis personally takes part in military action with RDK/RVC. It’s hard to fight in a war while staying hidden. It’s much better to announce it yourself on your own terms than to wait a few more days or weeks (because that’s how long it’s going to take for somebody to find out) before Russians announce it themselves in a much more disadvantageous tone.
We don’t know what the circumstances were. But if they had all their Russian contacts and were paid from Russia, why wait? Moreover, without Denis, the RDK would have had to be led by someone else for six months, for example. And if the unit had suffered heavy losses, Denis would have blamed himself for hiding in the background. The RDK has benefited greatly from this situation and continues to fight.
So, in the future will women be “twerking” when he speaks? 🙃
Are you fascinated by twerking? Maybe you should read less CC and go to a nightclub instead. In my next literary contribution, I will make you happy with a piece about sex films, fringe culture, and nightclubs. I believe that if you want to, you will see Denis speak live.
Did you know that in A Man Called Horse (1970) the indian women “twerked” at the warriors? 🙃
Thanks for the tip. The film looks good. It is said to be one of the 100 most influential westerns in history. I’m currently watching films starring Brigitte Bardot. Perhaps CC readers would enjoy an article about her life and work.
I would look forward to a CC article about Briget Bardot.
Bardot would be a natural for a CC article given that she became something of far right icon, and was critical of immigrants, Muslims, gays, the Me Too movement. Just for good measure she was married to an adviser of Jean Marie Le Pen.
Yes, that’s right. These are generally known facts. Do you like any movies with Brigitte Bardot?
Richard Harris, the original ‘Twerker Receiver’.
Hopefully in Denis Nikitin’s case, the memes about what your wife does five minutes after you die didn’t turn out to be true.
Maybe unlike Erika Kirk, she’s too poor to own any tight leather pants…
I’m done seeing the phony crocodile tears-wiping from that woman and glad to see that women can’t stand kirk either. They see her the way we see gavin newsome.
Ondrej, this is an interesting article. Maybe nation-states will use this type of deception in future wars. I know of a quick metaphor for this article and the war in Ukraine. Since we’re both fans of Dio, the cover of the Dio album Angry Machines is a decent, visual, metaphor for this. Not any song on the album, just the cover, which depicts giant androids destroying a city. It’s a loose metaphor. Yes, I know that’s the second time that I’ve mentioned the Angry Machines album recently.
Yes, war is a complex thing. I wonder how warfare will affect AI, combat drones, and various original ideas in the long term. My favorite Dio album cover is Holy Diver. Have you seen the documentary Dio Dreamers Never Die? It explains how that cover came about. The Angry Machines cover is also good, and it’s a good album.
Yes, I have. It’s an interesting documentary. I think that the Holy Diver cover is a good metaphor for the Catholic Priests, sexual abuse scandal. It could be used as art therapy for the victims of these radical-leftist, pedophile, priests.
Ondrej Mann: Yes, that’s right. These are generally known facts. Do you like any movies with Brigitte Bardot?
And God Created Woman is the only one I’ve seen
I quite like her groovy/cute 60’s music. I’ve got a DVD of snippets from her TV show in the 60’s which is also good. The funny Hippy parody song she did with Sascha Distel was quite amusing. Franciose and Sylvie are also good in limited doses.
I tried to watch a movie she was in ages ago and it was terrible.
I’ve seen several films starring Brigitte Bardot. The Legend of Frenchie King, La Parisienne, And God Created Women… But her films are too mainstream for me; I prefer more artistic and darker films. These are too distant and naive for me. In her day, however, Brigitte Bardot was a big star.
Yes, the movie I tried to watch was some sort of horrible Western. It didn’t work at all. I must say that I like European movies from decades ago that are a bit on the sleazy side; like Jean Rollin, for example. Anything with Edwidge Fenech, Rosalba Neri, Helga Line and Barbara Bouchet is a definite plus for me.
Do you believe that Denis Kasputin’s ultimate goal of growing his organization’s political and military power into a force that can topple Putin and seize control of the Kremlin (that is to say, control of the Russian state), is viable and realistic? Mr. Kapustin seems to have found himself in a unique situation in Ukraine in which there is a chance, however slim, that white nationalism might actually be brought to a white country via, at least in part, combat operations and violent insurrection against an established regime. I don’t think Mr. Kapustin thinks that he is exclusively “talking” his way out of his nation’s problems, so to speak; however, he definitely seems ideologically sound in his goals (abandoning aspirations of imperial conquest, the de-Islamization of European Russian society, etc.), and he comes across as a serious, organized, and committed field commander and a genuine political revolutionary.
I don’t know how realistic it is, but he is playing to win, which makes me respect him as a serious man.
Question for thought: What view should white nationalists take with regard to Chechen, Siberian, and other non-white militias or volunteer combat formations, similar to the Russian Volunteer Corps [RVC] in that they are composed of Russian citizens but, unlike RVC personnel, are not racially European, ethnically Slavic whites, fighting on the side of the Ukrainians and integrated (like the RVC) into the Ukrainian military command structure? I understand that the Ukrainians need all the help they can get, but a major reason why white nationalists should be disgusted with Vladimir Putin is because, among many other crimes, he deploys Chechen fighters from one of the regime’s Muslim vassal provinces, run by a psychopathic Muslim gangster (Kadyrov), to Ukraine to kill and terrorize Slavic whites in furtherance of his illegitimate government’s thirst for conquest; does it not follow then, that white nationalists should have some reservations and distinctive revulsion at the thought of non-whites killing whites, even if they are fighting on our side?
It’s a very good point. I just don’t think that people find Chechens that disgusting when they are fighting on the side of Ukraine, because (a) Russia started the war, and (b) Russia is an enemy of the Chechens, who should have their own homeland.
Kapustin’s family were allowed into Germany as jewish quota refugees, according to Der Spiegel.
This status could be simply bought for money. Many non-Jews have come to Germany as fake Jews.

Thanks for this, Victor:
… The reason I thought Denis deserved a mention is because of all the great work he has done building a pro-European movement to counter the threat of Putin’s Kremlin and its imperialism. Also Nikitin has been in the news, as a big story surrounding whether he was still alive or not, so this inspired me to do an Article mentioning him.
From what I have heard about his early life, Denis Nikitin grew up in Russia, but then moved to Germany. He became organized in both politics and sports activities early on — especially via Active Clubs, where keeping individuals healthy and prepared for life, with valuable life skills…
I hadn’t heard of Mr. Nikitin or of Active Clubs so did a search and got this from the American-based hate group, SPLCenter.org. Consider the source and take it for what it’s worth:
The Active Clubs are a loose network of white supremacist groups operating within the United States and internationally. The network’s founder and leader, Robert Rundo, has a long history of racist activism and violence. While living in Eastern Europe, he founded the group in close collaboration with Denis Yevgenyevich Kapustin, a neo-Nazi of Russian-German descent who uses the pseudonyms “Denis Nikitin” and “White Rex” in the white supremacist movement.
Rundo and the Active Clubs seek to build their own white nationalist cultural ideal through music, clothing, propaganda and mixed martial arts training.
Key Takeaways
Within the United States, the Southern Poverty Law Center documented that the Active Club network grew from four chapters in 2021 to 31 in 2024. Rundo and his followers support and promote the Active Clubs through two companies, Media2Rise and Will2Rise, that he founded in 2020.
Rundo first rose to prominence within the white supremacist movement as the leader of the Rise Above Movement (RAM), formerly known as the DIY Division. He and several fellow RAM members were arrested in late 2018 on federal rioting charges in connection with attacks at political rallies that took place mainly in California throughout 2017. He was sentenced in December 2024 to time served for conspiring to violate the federal anti-riot act. The conditions of his release prohibit him from being “physically present in any area known to the defendant to be a location where members of the RAM organization meet or assemble.” Nevertheless, Rundo has remained involved with the Active Clubs following his release.
Unlike some white supremacist groups, members of Active Clubs are not dissuaded from networking with other organizations in the movement. Leaders or members of Active Clubs have closely collaborated with Patriot Front, as well as racist skinhead groups.
In addition to the United States, Active Club chapters operate elsewhere in North America, South America, Europe and Australia.
For more information about Denis, read my previous article (Eulogy for White Rex). Come on, quoting SPLcentrum on CC? That’s like me finding the National Alliance profile on SPLcentrum or ADL. And thinking that what those Jews write is true. If you know the Will2Rise and Media2Rise communication channels, you’ll get much better information.

Sorry, Ondrej, no offense intended but I have little or no interest in Denis or White Rex or many of the others you write about. It’s a matter of there being no accounting for differing tastes. You know pretty much my interests and where I’m coming from in the C-C interview you did with me. Thanks again for that.

You missed what I wrote: “consider the source, the American-based hate group.”
Please don’t tell me about the Jewish law center that I’ve been fighting since 1986. Google, WikiJews, Elon Musk’s Grokipedia, as well as AI ChatGPT and others, all use SPLC as the source for info about me and the National Alliance — you should know better since you have a copy of my book, Pocahontas Show Trial, that tells all about the anti-White law center. SPLC can actually be useful as long as you read between their lines.

I don’t follow blogs and podcasts. When someone suggested Will2Rise might be able to make some Alliance T-shirts I found them on the ‘Net. Not impressed with their T-shirts or much else they projected. Maybe it was photos of the models wearing backward baseball caps like niggers. It looks like they are somehow linked to the Patriot Front group which means no sound ideology. We wish them luck.
When Scott and Greg exchanged comments, mentioning TRS, under one of Greg’s latest essays (“Poetic Justice”) I had to do a search to learn what TRS is. Remarkably, SPLC provides much more information about TRS than do others, and it’s probably an accurate overview because they are careful not to make personal smears for the most part.
I learned all about TRS at “Inside the Far-right Podcast Ecosystem, Part 1: Building a Network of Hate” at splcenter.org. Judge it for yourself. I know that many of those players are alt-right or Christian and that they don’t like our Alliance because we are not.
In the future ethnostate, I would ban the citation of Jewish sources. And I would reserve Jewish sources/books/false articles for a narrow group of researchers. In topics where there is no source other than Jewish sources, I would pay for new research and the writing of new scripts. White nationalists should already be following the rule of citing as few false/Jewish sources as possible. Because we will not build the future ethnostate on Jewish lies. This is nothing against you, Will, or your work. I respect you and your work. And I will gladly give NA media space on CC again.
And congratulations on ranking 10th among the Top Commentators.
Ondrej Mann: January 20, 2026 And congratulations on ranking 10th among the Top Commentators.

Thanks, Ondrej. Making the Top 10 was never a goal. It just happened.
I commend Greg and C-C mods for allowing me to speak my mind while never editing even one word of what I’ve had to say or blocking even a single comment.
Ondrej Mann: January 20, 2026 … [W]e will not build the future ethnostate on Jewish lies. Will, I will gladly give NA media space on CC again.

That’s mighty White of you, Ondrej. Speaking of NA media, I’ve recommended that you interview NA’s Media Director, Kevin Alfred Strom, who will explain our Alliance’s spiritual ideology, Cosmotheism, better than I.
Thanks for the good tip, I’m already working on it.
